GEOCACHING |

2007 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Arizona
State Parks. As part of the celebration,
Cattail Cove State Park hosted a Geocaching
event to show folks how to use their hand-held GPS
devices and introduce them to the sport of
Geocaching.
|
|
|
|
The event was well attended... The morning
started with an introduction to Geocaching (a high tech
scavenger hunt), complete with personal instructions on
the use of their GPS. |
| |
|
The Park Service had hidden several caches (small
containers holding clues) categorized by hike: easy,
moderate, hard; and by boat.
Our GPS took us on a trail along the edge of the
lake, here's a photo looking back at Cattail Cove.

 This
group of Happy Cachers just located a small 35mm film
container, attached to a limb of the bush.Another
cache required a short hike down one of the many slot
canyons found in the area.

That afternoon everyone enjoyed refreshments and cake
celebrating the State Park Systems 50th b-day.
Rangers read off ticket numbers of lucky winners, who
collected numerous gifts donated by local Lake Havasu
City Businesses.
